IL BELLO 150cc SCOOTER

Any beautifully restored 150cc Vespa

The scooter will be used for a cross-country roadtrip, which will be documented online and full props and creds will be given to the company whenever possible that wants to work with me on this trade. After all, without you this dream can’t come true! Well at least not for a very long time.

Ever noticed what kind of food your body craves after you have skipped a meal or two? Or gone all day without eating anything but a fistful of Oreos?

Anytime you allow yourself to get: a) dehydrated, b) really hungry, c) really low blood sugar, or d) all of the above, you kiss your freedom goodbye. You become a slave to your basic needs when the tough food choices come around. Any clarity that you might have had, to make good food choices, is shot.

Making proactive food choices is the only way to truly stay free…

While increased sizes haven’t been the sole contributor to our obesity epidemic, large quantities of cheap food have distorted our perceptions of what a typical meal is supposed to look like. These portion comparisons, adapted from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) Portion Distortion Quiz, give a visual representation of what sizes used to be compared to what they are today.

Airlines like money and it turns out that the best way for airlines to make money is to ensure that there are as few empty seats on a plane as possible. When a person doesn’t show up for a flight, the seat is left empty and an empty seat is a lost opportunity for revenue. As a result of this conundrum, airlines employ fancy statisticians to figure out how many seats the airline needs to overbook just to make up for the no-shows.

Unfortunately, those statisticians aren’t fortune tellers and sometimes (okay, a lot of times), their figures are off. When the figures are off, it’s still a better deal for the airline to give you a $300 travel voucher than it is to risk letting a seat fly empty.

So, how can you cash in on all of this free travel? Here are tips to releasing your inner free-travel royalty:

This Swedish designer has created the Mobile Plantwall:

Architect Vincent Callebaut hopes to have his 128-floor vertical farm concept realized. The Dragonfly is designed to address issues in space challenged cities like New Yor City and supports housing, offices, laboratories and twenty-eight different agricultural fields. This 2000ft tall structure is powered by both solar and wind power and is completely self sufficient!

The external and internal concept images on treehugger are absolutely AMAZING!!! So dreamy. I have ALWAYS wanted to live in a self sufficient structure in the sky, but this is beyond anything I hoped for.

With links to download the new wallpapers too!

Morgan Robertson’s 1898 novella Futility had many parallels with the RMS Titanic disaster; the book concerned a fictional state-of-the-art ocean liner called Titan, which (like the Titanic) eventually collides with an iceberg on a calm April night whilst en route to New York, with many dying because of the lack of lifeboats. Various other details in the book coincide with the Titanic disaster. Later, she wrote a book, Beyond the Spectrum, that described a future war fought with aircraft that carried “sun bombs”. Incredibly powerful, one bomb could destroy a city, erupting in a flash of light that blinds all who look at it. The war begins in December, started by the Japanese with a sneak attack on Hawaii.

SoulPancake hopes to inspire people to “chew on life’s big questions”, and I love the way he goes about it. The whole vibe is very laid back and fun. Interestingly Rainn was raised in the Baha’i faith which in its very nature is about the spiritual unity of all humankind, regardless of religion.

Today’s big question: “Televangelism: Is Salvation for Sale?”, though I found yesterday’s question much more thought provoking: “Can Death Be A Messenger of Joy?“

My belly hurts!

Thanks ken!
